Portuguese outlet O Jogo on Saturday reported that Mourinho desperately wants to add Osimhen to their ranks, adding that Fenerbahce are ready for such a big move, which they will insist on.
Osimhen’s imperial displays for Galatasaray have left a litany of top clubs on his trail, including Chelsea, while a big-money move to Saudi Arabia in the summer is also weighing strongly in the balance.
Despite joining Galatasaray in September, the 25-year-old has developed a strong bond with the club’s supporters. He recently promised to serve out his loan term after scoring a brace against Besiktas in a Turkish Super Lig Istanbul derdy, but it will take a strong resolve from the player, his agent, and Napoli to resist a lucrative offer in January.
Napoli Sporting Director Giovanni Manna had said, “There are many clubs interested in Victor Osimhen. Galatasaray cannot take Osimhen if it does not pay a net fee of €75m.”
Fenerbahce believe the addition of Osimhen has given Galatasaray a psychological superiority over their opponents and would knock on Napoli’s door with a higher offer than Galatasaray would make to former Serie A champions.
It was recently reported that Galatasaray were willing to pay €50m for this transfer, an offer Fenerbahce are more than ready to topple to add Osimhen to its squad.
Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı stated in a recent television programme that their team is rich in forward position rotation and made the following comments about Osimhen: ‘There is Dzeko, there is En Nesyri, and there is also Cenk. Who will play?’
